MCPHS & Merck Partner to Provide Dinner Program for PA Alumni

On March 4, the Office of Alumni and Professional Affairs, in conjunction with Merck & Co., sponsored a dinner program exclusively for physician assistant alumni from MCPHS at McCormick & Schmidts restaurant in Boston. The complimentary program provided an opportunity for alumni and faculty to re-connect with friends and classmates, and featured a presentation by Robert Heinig, MD, of Rochester General Hospital, entitled “Advancing Our Understanding of Glycemic Control: Refocusing on Glucose Regulation in Type II Diabetes.”

In attendance were President Charles F. Monahan Jr.; Provost Michelle Kalis; Vice Presidents Dennis G. Lyons and Peg Johnson; Executive Director of Government Affairs and Continuing Education Kathy Keough; Executive Director of Alumni Relations Dawn Ballou; and several physician assistant faculty members and alumni. This is the second such event held solely for physician assistant alumni, with an upcoming program scheduled for May 1, 2008 at 6 p.m. at Avila’s Restaurant in Boston. For more information call Kathy Keough at 617.732.2789 or e-mail katherine.keough@mcphs.edu. Plans are also underway to provide similar offerings in the Manchester, New Hampshire area.
